Hi,the Workshop is now set up, with tools, spares, 4 bikes for people to work on, and tea/coffee making facilities. On Saturday a dozen people showed up - we changed a sprocket wheel, fixed broken spokes, shortened a chain, and did most of that with parts salvaged from other bikes. Address is 34 Long Street, Plympton - at the community centre, kind of opposite Plympton Primary School. Go round the back of the hall. We have a room at the back of the hall.

Bicycle Institute Public Meeting, Tuesday 13 May, 7.30pm.111 Franklin Street, Adelaide (the site of the Community Bicycle Workshop)

If you're interested in better conditions for cyclists in, come along to our AGM.

Find out what we've been doing, tell us what what should be doing, and perhaps even get in involved in helping us to do it.

Guest Speaker Paul Gelston: cycling and our arterial roads.

As well as talking about projects and advocacy that we have been busy with, we will have Mr Paul Gelston talk to the meeting. Paul is the Chief Operating Officer in the Department for Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. Before that, he was a project manager for some of the more important projects that the State Government has undertaken in recent years.

You might have attended consultation meetings on Greenhill Road, and before that, the tram bridge over South Road, where Paul was up front dealing with local residents and interests like ours.

Paul will talk to us about the role of the State Government in providing for our transport needs, where cycling fits in, and the pressures faced in trying to meet broad State government objectives and deal with political demands whose basis ranges from metropolitan-wide to very local concerns. The Bicycle Institute welcomes new members and you can join at the meeting. Membership is currently free.

There are opportunities to get involved. We has welcome nominations for office holders (Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, Treasurer) and Committee members.
